Another way is to run another spool without pagesize 0 and a where clause that won't get rows, and put the two files together. If you know the number of lines is less than the maximum allowable pagesize, you could set pagesize to the number of rows+number of heading lines.

In my experience, having data with delimiters in it usually causes a lot more work no matter how you do it.
